As a dating app, the closing gap between the number of male and female users is encouraging, and we are looking toward making our platform even more secure for women to enjoy dating without safety concerns.”According to the app, more than 43% of Chennaite women prefer online dating over its traditional counterpart.”This is majorly owing to safety concerns. While speaking about the security of dating apps, QuackQuack claims there’s a new trend in place among the women of Chennai; virtual first dates.
